Audi A5 2.0 TDI 190 coupe (2016) review - CAR Magazine
In a wild change of tack, Audi has built a new car that doesn’t look nearly indistinguishable from its predecessor. The grille is flatter, fatter and pushed further down the nose, the headlights – Xenon as standard now, all-LED optional – are higher and further back, and the bonnet features scalloped sections that create some interesting ridges over the wings... And at the back the abrupt cut lines make the new A5 look as if it’s freshly pressed from a mould, prior to a bit of rounding with some sandpaper. In conjunction with the standard front-wheel-drive set-up and the optional seven-speed dual-clutch S tronic automatic, this 187bhp beast rips 0-62mph in 7. 7sec and can hit 147. 9mph. You sound insincere, but 148mph from a 2. 0-litre diesel sounds pretty impressive to me Fair point. That new exterior might look a little chubby, but it’s got a drag coefficient of 0. 25, which is really rather slippery – good news for going fast and sipping fuel, though usually not at the same time. Audi also claims the ‘aeroacoustics’ are very good – meaning the A5 shouldn’t make much noise. However, wind and road noise isn’t so much conspicuous by its absence as just conspicuous.
